The club wants to bring in around €30m with the sale of the Dutch stopper

Jasper Cillessen has one foot out of the door at Barcelona. The footballer wants to play more than he has at the Camp Nou and he's already told the club about offers he's received from interested teams.

The sporting department is conscious of the goalkeeper's intentions and, in fact, have seen the offers brought to the club by the player as well as other proposals. This means that the two sides will need to make a definitive decision in the next few days so they situation doesn't drag on for too long. At the moment, Cillessen's exit is practically done, although the Dutch keeper still needs to pick the best option for his future. Barcelona won't stand in his way but they do want around €30m for Jasper.

Furthermore, the club is already searching for Cillessen's replacement. They've decided to look for a backup option on the transfer market rather than promote someone from the 'B' side. The current plan is put aside around €15m to bring in a new number two at the Camp Nou.
